Best NBA player props: Kyrie Irving vs Utah Jazz for Nov. 14 | Betting tips and more
Kyrie Irving and the Dallas Mavericks will hit the road on Thursday when they take on the Utah Jazz at the Delta Center. The Mavericks had a great start to the season as they secured three wins in their first four matches. However, Dallas' last three outings haven't been the greatest for them.
They have lost the last three games by small margins, which can be frustrating for both the players and the fans. Kyrie Irving has arguably been playing the best basketball of his career as he is averaging 25.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.9 assists.
He is shooting a career-high 54.5 percent from the field and another career-high 54.1 percent from the 3-point range. In addition to that, Uncle Drew has been very active in dishing out assists and setting up his teammates. Irving and Doncic are arguably one of the best if not the best backcourt duo in the league right now.
Kyrie Irving player props and betting tips
Points 24.5 (Over -128/Under +100): Kyrie Irving is favored to score above 24.5 points. He's averaging 25.2 points and has crossed the 24.5 point margin three times in his last five games. It is worth taking the over here given the incredible scoring form of Uncle Drew.
Rebounds 3.5 (Over -132/Under +106): Irving has not been the best rebounder in his career. This season he is averaging 4.6 rebounds which is his seventh career high. However, it is worth going over as Irving has crossed the 3.5 rebound mark in four out of his last five games.
Assists 5.5 (Over +122/Under -156): Uncle Drew has dished out more than five assists in only two games out of his last five. It would be worth it to play it safe and go with under on this one.
Steals 1.5 (Over +164/Under -215): Irving is favored to make less than 1.5 steals. Uncle Drew has never been a super impactful defensive player, in his last five games he made more than two steals only two times. Moreover, he did not have any steals in two other games in his last five. So, it would be better to go for under if you want to play it safe.
On the other hand, if you want to take a risk, you can go for over and bank on the Mavs guard to active his defense mechanisms.
3-Pointer made 2.5 (Over -102/Under -125): Uncle Drew is averaging 3.0 3-pointers made per game this season. So, it won't be surprising to go on over with this one.
